After 25 years of providing choral music to the community, the Highlands Delta Chorale has performed its last concert due to the lack of singing voices.
When I came to Sebring in the mid- 1970s, it was my dream to start a choral group. It became a reality with the Sebring Hills Chorale that later in October 1983 became the Highlands Delta Chorale.
As founder of the group, I want to especially thank David Rinald, who faithfully devoted most of those 25 years directing and keeping the chorale together. Thanks also to South Florida Community College for providing their facility for concerts, to the Highlands County School Board for providing rehearsal space and to the area churches for providing rehearsal and concert space.
A special thanks to Richard Wedig, accompanist for the chorale, and his wife, Susan, who stepped in to direct when a director was not available.
Dick also wrote choral arrangements for the group. Lastly, thanks to the community for inviting us to sing for you, and to the singers who lent their voices to make the Highlands Delta Chorale such a special choral group for 25 years.
